Sonar Views

Sonar View presents a historical log of the stored sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water

to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on screen, although it can be manually-adjusted by the user as well (see Sonar Settings - X-Press

Menu). Up to five additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories such as Water Temperature, Trolling Speed, WeatherSense

Barometric Pressure and more. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Advanced User Mode - Select Readouts).

A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) window appears on the right side of the display. The RTS Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. In the RTS Window, sonar returns are shown in shades of gray. The most intense returns are shown as a solid black band that indicates the bottom. The thickness of the bottom band indicates bottom type. Hard bottoms appear thinner and mostly black; softer bottoms are thicker and may appear with many gray tones. Above the bottom band, less intense sonar returns shown as varying shades of gray indicate the sonar returns from fish or structure. The RTS Window can be turned on or off (see Sonar Settings - Main Menu Sonar Tab).

As the boat moves, the Matrix unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The default presentation highlights the bottom profile with a Structure ID® feature and gray tones. From the appearance of the gray tones in the bottom contour, the type of bottom can be determined. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner dark line across the

display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line that contains a transition from darker to lighter grays. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance. In shallower water, a Second Sonar Return may appear as a bottom contour below the main bottom at twice the depth. The second return occurs when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Experienced anglers use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. The Matrix unit is capable of revealing layers of water with different temperatures called thermoclines. Thermoclines appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many gray levels moving across the display at the same depth.

Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then increases as it moves out again,

creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is graphed on

the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch. For optimum fish arching, it is important to mount the transducer so that it is pointing straight down. The Matrix unit has an advanced Selective Fish ID+

option that analyzes the sonar return to determine if the sonar return may contain a fish (see Sonar Settings - Main Menu Sonar Tab). When a target is detected, a Fish ID+

symbol appears on the display with the depth. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. Targets detected in the narrow beam directly under the boat appear as Shaded Fish Symbols. Targets detected in the wide beam around the boat appear as Hollow Fish Symbols. The Matrix unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed.

Sonar Zoom View increases the display resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The

Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar Settings - X-Press Menu). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed.

Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected to the system. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset (see System Settings - Main Menu Setup Tab).

How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The MatrixTMFishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as calibrate digital depth directly below the transducer.

Your Matrix unit sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than ¼of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.

DualBeamPLUS™ Sonar

Your Matrix 25 uses a dual frequency 200/83 kHz DualBeamPLUS sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeamPLUS is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition with a narrow (20°) beam, and

the fish and structure location with a wide (60°) beam. DualBeamPLUS is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water. Your Matrix transducer also comes with a temperature sensor included!

Powering Up the Unit

Turn on the Matrix unit by momentarily pressing the POWER key. A startup screen is then displayed until the Matrix unit begins sonar operation. While the startup screen is displayed, you may press the MENU key for the other options listed below. If no key is pressed, the Matrix will begin Normal or Simulator operation, depending on the presence or absence of a transducer. The following operating states are available:

• Normal – Use for on the water operation with transducer connected.

• Simulator – Use to learn the features and functions of the Matrix unit.

Simulates on the water operation.

• System Status – Use to view system connections and conduct a unit

self-test.

• PC Connect – Use when upgrading Matrix internal software with a PC and

PC Connect cable.

The Matrix unit uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If the transducer is not connected or is damaged, the unit will select the Simulator state automatically at startup. If a functioning transducer is connected, the unit will select the Normal operating state automatically and the unit can be used on the water.

Note: When operating in Simulator state with a transducer connected, Menu setting changes are saved to memory. If a transducer is not connected, changes will not be saved and Menu settings will revert to factory defaults every few minutes.

Sonar Settings - X-PressTM Menu

The X-Press menu represents the settings most frequentlyused to optimize the sonar performance of the Matrix unit. Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views, including Big Digits, to access the following X-Press menu settings quickly:

Sensitivity provides advanced control over the sonar receiver.

The Matrix unit optimizes Sensitivity based on depth and water conditions automatically; however, you also may change it manually to match your preferences or water conditions. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small bait fish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered in some water conditions. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows fainter returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.

Beam Select - Selects the sonar beam used in the Sonar Views. When 200 kHz is selected, the sonar returns and Fish ID+ from the 200 kHz beam are displayed providing greater bottom detail (typically from 2 feet to 800 feet) at any boat speed. Using 83 kHz, the sonar returns and Fish ID+ from the 83 kHz beam are displayed, providing greater depth capability and showing more targets in its wider beam. The 83 kHz beam is not recommended for use when the boat is traveling at greater than trolling speeds. When Both is selected, the unit blends the sonar information from both beams together on the display to provide the best sonar image and Fish ID+.

Lower Range adjusts the lower depth range to a specific depth for the Sonar and Big Digits Views. Automatic is the default setting. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into manual mode. Advanced anglers use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Advanced User Mode). will be displayed when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you’re in Manual mode.

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the bottom information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar View and is preferred by most anglers; however, the bottom moves across the display quickly. The highest setting is an ultrafast mode that provides the highest chart speed possible by slowing down other system functions. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish detail becomes compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

Zoom Level sets the magnification level for the Sonar Zoom View.

Sonar Settings – Main Menu Sonar Tab

Less frequently-adjusted menus are grouped into the Main

Menu System. Press the MENU key twice to access the Main

Menu System.

Fish ID+

uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. A number above the fish icon indicates the depth of the fish. Three different fish size icons show the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of

relative fish size. When Fish ID+ is turned off, the Matrix shows only the unprocessed sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential targets.

Fish Sensitivity adjusts the thresholds of the fish detection algorithms, thus enhancing your unit’s ability to identify sonar returns as fish icons. Selecting a higher setting allows fainter returns to be displayed as fish icons and will increase the number of fish icons that appear on the display. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish icons from faint sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish.

Bottom View selects the method to display bottom and structure on the display. Structure ID® presents the graphical representation of the bottom and structure

sonar returns using only grayscale to indicate the signal strength. WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns from the bottom to make a distinctive outline of the bottom contour, structure and fish. Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength.

RTS Window turns the RTS window on or off in the Sonar View.

Alarm Settings - Main Menu Alarm Tab

Various audible alarms can be triggered in the Matrix unit based on these menu settings. When an alarm is triggered, it can be silenced by pressing the EXIT key.

Depth Alarm sounds when the digital depth becomes equal to or less than the menu setting.

Fish Alarm sounds when the Fish ID+ feature displays fish

symbols that correspond to the menu setting.

Low Battery Alarm sounds when the input battery voltage is equal to or less than the menu setting.

Alarm Tone selects the pitch of the alarm sound to improve audibility. As the menu is adjusted a brief tone will be produced so that you can select the tone that you can hear best.

Sonar X-Press Menu - Advanced User Mode

Upper Range Adjusts the Upper Depth Range to a specific depth for the Sonar and Big

Digits Views. (0 to 1190 feet, Default: 0)

83 kHz Sensitivity Adjusts the sensitivity applied to the 83kHz beam to be higher or lower

than the overall sensitivity settting. (-10 to +10, Default=0)

Sonar Menu - Advanced User Mode

Surface Clutter Adjusts the filter that removes surface clutter noise caused by algae and

aeration. The lower the setting, the less surface clutter will be displayed. (Low=1, High=10, Default=Low)

Noise Filter Adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference from sources such as

your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices for best display performance. (Off, Low, Medium, High, Default=Low)

Note: The Off setting removes all filtering; Low, Medium and High settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. In some deep water situations, the High setting may actually hinder your unit’s ability to find the bottom.

Water Type Configures unit for type of water conditions. (Salt, Fresh, Default=Fresh)

Note: In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as this can affect the accuracy of deep water depth readings.

Max Depth Adjusts the maximum depth of unit operation.

(Auto, 10 to 1200 feet, Default=Auto)

Note: The performance of your unit can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in by setting this menu choice. When a maximum depth is set, the unit will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing overall performance. When the Max Depth is set to Auto, the unit will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit).
